9/10.

Spoiler:

In a way it's really on par with Boyhood...

I mean the structure's pretty predictable... unlikely friendship, grumpy man we don't know really well, suddenly good friends, great highs winning that bet and a fight, sudden crash to earth, realisation of Vin's wife's condition, boy's mom in all sorts of trouble, fallout of the main characters, and then slow but sure return to happy ending

But the performances were really fantastic, I hope Murray is Oscar-nominated for this, at the very least. I was happy to see McCarthy in a role other than her typecast (loud obnoxious messy woman) and she was really great in this, and the kid's one of those rare, likeable, not-annoying child actors Also loved Daka's character.

And the story was really sweet. Will definitely be buying this on DVD/bluray when it's out, it was just naturally affecting and made me laugh/tearful in equal measure
